Supreme Court Calls for Response in Herrera v. Oregon (non-unanimous jury)

The U.S. Supreme Court has requested that the state of Oregon file a response in Herrera v. Oregon, a case which challenges the state's use of non-unanimous juries.  While this is no guarantee that the Supreme Court will take up the case, it does demonstrate that at least one justice is interested in the issue.  As some may recall, the U.S. Supreme Court punted on this issue last term when it failed take up Bowen v. Oregon.
